So I have taken a short break from my primary writing project to do a gift story for some one very close to me. By her very nature, the story will be rather naughty in nature to be pleasant for her. the issue I am having is this, I am a proud writer. Such a story would most likely get plenty of exposure and hook another viewer or two into my page, but I simply do not want to be known for such stories. I want to be known for my real work and my real talent, not because I amuse porn hounds. However, writing and giving my all has done little to bring me any kind of success. The whole point of a story is so others can read and enjoy the world we have crafted for them to view. If no one views a story, it is simply a mesh of wasted code and effort. Do not misunderstand me, I am still proud of the chapters I post regardless of whether people view them or not. However, it is hard to stay motivated if the work you put forth is overlooked without even a thought.

So i ask of my readers, should I keep the story I am working on private for the recipient, or should I post it in the hopes of catching the attention of others? If I were to do that would I be 'selling out' ?
